23. Omit λαβόντες with אABC and Vulg.

23. ἔκδοτον. Given up onto you as God had decreed He should be, for the sake of man’s redemption.

διὰ χειρὸς�, by the hand of wicked (lit. lawless) men. διὰ χειρός is a literal translation of a Hebrew expression = by means of. Cf. Leviticus 8:36 ‘Things which the Lord commanded by the hand of Moses.’ See also 2 Kings 14:25, though in both those passages the LXX. has ἐν χειρί. But διὰ χειρός in the same sense is found 2 Kings 14:27; 1 Chronicles 11:3; 1 Chronicles 29:5, &c.
